Michael Jackson Suffers Heart Attack: "He Is Not OK"
GSI Media
Michael Jackson has been hospitalized in Los Angeles after suffering cardiac arrest.
The 50-year-old King of Pop collapsed at his home around noon today. Staffers immediately rushed to his aid, but he was unresponsive.
"The call came in because a person was not breathing," says Los Angeles Fire Capt. Steve Ruda, who declined to ID the singer by name.
"When the team arrived, they saw that CPR was already in progress by someone at the home. The person not breathing was transported to UCLA Medical Center and remains there."
Jackson's family has begun to gather at the hospital, with mother Katherine among the first to arrive.
"He had a heart attack," father Joe Jackson tells E! News by phone from Las Vegas. "He is not OK."

Cops Ruin Tommy Lee's Joy Ride

Some air jockeys have God as their copilot. But one unlucky dude chose Tommy Lee, and the results weren't exactly auspicious.
The Mötley Crüe man and a buddy were tooling around the Southern California skies in a helicopter Sunday morning when they allegedly decided to do the aerial equivalent of donuts in front a police chopper.
"[The pilot] was flying rather erratically, and he did get close to one of our helicopters,'' said LAPD Officer Karen Smith. "The tower over the area was concerned about his flying, too."
Faster than you could say Dr. Feelgood, the high-flying duo was escorted back to to the closest airport.
Lee, who was riding shotgun, "he had nothing to do with the situation, so he was just released," Smith said.
But his pilot pal wasn't so lucky.
